Doesn't V.I.P have either three periods or none? This isn't a major issue but I think it would be nice to change it to either V.I.P. or VIP just for the sake of relieving the OCPD pains of people.
Thanks!

LOL Stickid. You messaged me about this yesterday, but I didn't respond because I didn't know what you meant. Where are you seeing the VIP without the periods and where are you seeing it with the periods? You have to elaborate on what you mean because your not giving me enough information besides your OCD is bothering you. Which btw, I have OCD and I learn to live with these things. You should too. :P

His issue is that V.I.P. should be spelled with two periods rather than two (V.I.P). I agree it'd be more correct, don't really care about it, but ay, ya gotta strive for perfection.

You mean the dots, right ? So you either want V.I.P to be written likeV.I.P
.orVIP
I don't find this as much of an annoyance.

If stuff like this annoys you, you probably have OCPD rather than OCD. OCPD means that your personality is prone to finding things like this annoying as well as things like tilted paintings and such.
The "Do You Have OCD" tests are actually "Do You Have OCPD" tests.

VIP doesn't have any periods, it's an initialism, not an abbreviation.

What he says makes sense. +1 for no periods.

Makes sense. Changed it to VIP instead.

You can argue that VIP is an acronym, though I agree with you stating it's an initialism. It's a very fine line though.
